| Hi everyone,
My store has been suspended for non-payment of fees. I was away and missed the
deadline (stupid I know!). Payment has now been made.
Anyone know how long it takes to re-open? I have contacted the helpdesk but no
reply as yet and I realise it's my fault but need to get back to selling
again!
Many thanks,
Darren

Send an apology messages to the help desk and maybe to admin. I have been late
a few times and it has never takin longer then a day or two max. Usually within
a couple of hours.

| When I was a kid I played with Lego but that was back in the late 60's
early 70's when themes were not that prevalent and there wasn't much
of a variety of pieces so I just remember having Lego bricks in general and after
many years of not playing with them they just stayed in the past. Then about
15 years ago I had a friend that while being in his late 20's still loved
Lego. His appreciation of Lego would cause me to every once
in a while to stroll down the Lego isle at the local Walmart store and I eventually
decided to give Lego a try and bought this set:
I was surprised at the tolerances used in the making of the pieces, the way doors
would pass by other pieces soo smoothly without catching on other pieces. Unlike
almost all other plastic toys, Lego seemed to care about quality. Another thing
that I really appreciated was how relaxing I found it to be to just sit down
after work and build part of a set while listening to music or watching a video.
I really enjoyed that.

| | Does it even really need the customer to approve the change? If so why?
|
In answer to at least this one question is that it is very important for the
customer to be involved in the process of changing quantities of parts in their
order. Imagine a customer places an order for a build but as the store is filling
the order he realizes that he is 4 short of one part, 3 short of another and
20 short of yet still another. If the store can just change the qty of what is
ordered without the customers approval then the customer's order will be
all screwed up.
This is just one example. There is certainly room for improvement but the customer
should always be part of any qty change in the orders they place.

They're mostly focusing on Taxes (not even all of them) and Security.
But the Shipping methods are working (ignoring the fact you can't import/export
them), Buy All's a good move - but assuming Wanted-lists would work properly.
Collection is our latest joke.
Ah, but Studio is outstandigly good!
The rest works relatively well and reliably, but as if it was 2000 - see this
Forum?
|
This is nothing short of frustrating. Did the people “running” this site outsource
that responsibility to a chimp on an entire pharmacy’s worth of drugs? Is that
why nothing productive is getting done? Does this site even have an analytics
team?
|
The things is; most of us are VERY happy this site exists.
And for a site, at least, just staying alive is already a huge task
I'm very thankful to them for this.

What if I purchase them for 50 cents and relist them on BrickLink at the now
current price?

That was exactly my thought when I read her post thinking that if she parted
out 10 sets and sold the 10 helmets for one buck each then someone would probably
buy them and turn around and relist them at the 6 month sales average of six
bucks each.

It’s
“auto-blocking” each others. Some may be connected to the side but that’s not
necessary.
Search for words like “LEGO cheese mosaic”

I tried it after seeing how it was done the cheese slopes fit tightly in the
window frame with no extra support necessary to keep them in place.

| Like others have stated, chargebacks just dont happen very often. Out of all
the sales we have had over the past decade we have had only a few customers file
a chargeback with PayPal and all but one we went ahead and gave a full refund
before PayPal even made a decision because it was obvious by looking at the tracking
info that the order was most likely lost in the mail. The one we did dispute
we won.
Even if the few we had were just people trying to get an order for free, it is
still a small price to pay when you compare that the ratio of orders going bad
verses orders being completed where all ends well is probably one bad for every
3000 good.
With all that being said, I can still appreciate your concern. I still will fret
sometimes when we get an order for high dollar set from a new buyer but we have
yet to have any larger order go bad or get lost in the mail. And when it comes
to first time buyers, we have never had a problem yet.
If I do fill the occasional order where I feel a little apprehensiveness about
the order then I just pay a little extra and buy insurance.

| You gotta be kidding me!
This is the first time this has happened to me in a lot of orders on here.
I ordered what was supposed to be new Lego pieces.
I received used Lepin or other off-brand pieces. One stud on each piece is indented
where the Lego logo would go.
These people should not be allowed to operate on here. Go sell that junk on
fleabay.
|
16 pieces in the order all Lepin or some knock off.
The problem with order page is confusing. When I click that my only option is
"Cancel this order" with a selected radio button that I can't unselect
and a Take Action button making it seem if I file a complaint I'm trying
to cancel the order. Do I have to wait for a few days to pass before I can really
do anything?

And he's no longer registered. headhunter_odst (193) Is the seller.
|
I noticed that your the 5th negative feedback he has received in the past couple
of weeks for selling fake Lego - on top of another 8 negative for selling used
as new over the past year. So a total of 13 negatives out of 57 total feedbacks
for selling - SCUM.

Probably what happened is the buyer placed an order in your store and completed
it but before you sent him an invoice, he came back and placed another order.
BrickLink will automatically combine them into one order if the order is still
"Pending"..
We had this happen several times in the past before we had auto checkout enabled.

AGREE!! This is the most important question. If he cant give a good reason then
because he has 0 feedbacks, I would cancel the order.
3 different address / 3 different countries / expensive set / 0 feedbacks,
all just adds up to sounding like too much of a possible scam.
